Mini Living

This project was a studio-based research project carried out in partnership with Mini. The project explored the relationship between mobility, energy, and density in urban environments. Initiatives involve strategically retrofitting high-density city blocks to integrate renewable energy, enhance self-sufficiency in food and energy production, and experiment with innovative material processes, while prioritizing pedestrian spaces and sustainable mobility. Suburban projects recognise the potential of evolving blocks for collective engagement and transforming communities. The outcome of the project was a series of exemplar urban precinct designs that offer solutions for housing affordability, land regeneration, and community building at various scales to create a socially sustainable and adaptable built environment.
